A very good hotel. ”

Very good location. Even closer to Haram than most of the Clock Tower hotels because some of those hotels make you switch elevators and takes longer to get to haram. This one has an escalator that takes you straight to the Haram gate. It’s also more spacious and cleaner. The only thing I didn’t like was their complementary tea - coffee choices. They only had green tea with mint and English breakfast tea. Other hotels usually have more options. Overall, it was a great stay!

Location and staff”

The first and the biggest factor is location. The hotel is in the Al Salah Towers, which is literally opposite to King AbdulAzeez Gate. All the food courts are on a level below the hotel. The staff is very cooperative and suite is clean and tidy. The only grim is the breakfast is not buffet system instead it's call -for- breakfast system which is good if it's included free as part of package but becomes really expensive (60 sar pp) if breakfast is not included as part of booking. Rest all everything is perfect and fine. Some more expensive rooms do offer partial Kabah view I think but we got one with city views.
